Special to The Chronicle

The Union Chapel Baptist Church family began celebrating the 30th pastoral anniversary of the Rev. Konnie G. Robinson beginning Saturday, May 30, with a musical tribute featuring the Big-4 Choir at Bethlehem Baptist Church.

The church is hosting an “Evening of Elegance” in his honor at the Benton Convention Center on Saturday, June 6, at 6 p.m. Tributes will be given by special guests, in addition to presentations from church ministries, friends and community leaders.  (Seating for this event is no longer available.)

The celebration will culminate on Sunday, June 7, at the 11 a.m. worship service at Union Chapel, 300 W. 25th St. The Rev. Ronald McRae of Little Salem Christian Church, Reidsville, will deliver the sermon. 

For 30 years, Robinson, as pastor, has ministered to the people of God with a God-centered heart, leading the Union Chapel Baptist Church congregation by example, his congregation says. His humbleness, strength, spiritual and visionary leadership continue to be a blessing to the Union Chapel congregation, inspiring all to be more committed to the spiritual and physical needs of the local community and world-wide missions.
